摘要: Slicing is the procedure necessary to prepare a shape for layered manufacturing. There are degrees of freedom in this process, such as starting point slicing sequence and thickness each slice. The choice these parameters influences manufacturing process its result: number slices significantly affects time needed manufacturing, while their error. Assuming discrete setting, we measure error voxels that incorrectly assigned due slicing. We provide an algorithm generates, given set available slice heights shape, provably optimal. By optimal, mean generates sequences with minimal any possible slices. fast flexible, is, it can accommodate user driven importance modulation function allows interactive exploration desired quality/time tradeoff. demonstrate practical our optimization on several three-dimensional-printed results.
